Delhi ridge is the water divide between which of the following rivers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ganges and Indus.
- The Delhi Ridge serves as a water divide between the Ganges and Indus river systems. The Delhi Ridge is an extension of the Aravalli Hills in Delhi.
- It forms a natural drainage divide, determining whether rainwater flows towards the Yamuna River (part of the Ganges basin) or towards the Sutlej River (part of the Indus basin). The ridge prevents direct water flow between these two river systems, influencing local hydrology and groundwater recharge.
